Things To Do

All of the best things to do in the St. John's area to experience Newfoundland! Also a list of our favourite places to eat home.

Mallard Cottage

8 Barrows Road, St. John's, NL A1A 1G8, Canada

Really good seasonal food.

Quidi Vidi Brewery

35 Barrows Road, St. John's, NL A1A 1G8, Canada

Delicious beer and is located right in Quidi Vidi village which is beautiful. Also right next to Mallard Cottage.

Piatto Pizzeria + Enoteca St. John's Downtown

377 Duckworth Street, St. John's, NL A1C 1H8, Canada

The best pizza, we always eat here when we go home!

Bernard Stanley Gastropub

223 Duckworth Street, St. John's, NL A1C 6N1, Canada

Delicious food, good atmosphere and is located downtown.

Bagel Cafe

246 Duckworth Street, St. John's, NL A1C 1G8, Canada

The best breakfast and they have homemade toutons which I highly recommend to try while you're in Newfoundland!

YellowBelly Brewery

288 Water Street, St. John's, NL A1C 5J9, Canada

Good food and beer and is located downtown right next to George Street.

Green Sleeves

14 George Street, St. John's, NL A1C 1B8, Canada

My favourite bar on George Street. Highly recommend for live music but I also highly recommend going to George Street in general!

Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site

St. John's, NL A1C 5H2, Canada

The most easterly point in North America, sometimes you can see whales out here as well.

Signal Hill National Historic Site

230 Signal Hill Road, St. John's, NL A1A 1B3, Canada

Middle Cove Beach

Middle Cove Park, Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove, NL A1K 5A7, Canada

One of the closest beaches. It's sandy but not fine sand. If you're here while the capelin are rolling, this is a great place to see it. You can have bonfires here and access the East Coast Trail. DON'T swim here though, it's a strong undertoe.

Topsail Beach

24 Topsail Beach Road, Conception Bay South, NL A1W 5V8, Canada

Another closer beach that is large grain sand. Can have bonfires here. If you continue into CBS, there's very rocky beaches. You can swim here.

Point Lance Beach

Point Lance, NL A0B 1E0, Canada

A nice sandy beach but is about 2 hours outside of town.

Northern Bay Sands

Newfoundland and Labrador 70, Northern Bay, NL A0A 3B0, Canada

A really nice sandy beach that's about 1.5 hours from town.

Ferryland

Ferryland, NL A0A, Canada

If you rent a car, go to Ferryland! It's beautiful and a great place to see whales this time of year! There's about a 10 minute walk to get to the lighthouse and you can pre-arrange a picnic there. It's about an hour drive from town.

Gros Morne National Park Of Canada

NL, Canada

If you rent a car and don't mind travelling, it's amazing out there! Shallow Bay is my favourite beach in all of Newfoundland but it's about 8 hours from town.

Port Rexton Brewery + Tap Room

6 Ship's Cove Road, Port Rexton, NL A0C 2H0, Canada

An amazing place to visit if you want to get out of town and see small outport communities. If you go here, make sure you visit Trinity. That's where my nan is from and it's beautiful. It's also where me and Braden got engaged! I highly recommend staying at the Trinity Guest House (25 Main Road, A0C 2S0 Trinity, Canada) if you go!
